The Federal Evidence Review offers two avenues for using and searching the current version of the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE). Both versions include the recently enacted FRE 502 (Attorney-Client Privilege and Work Product; Limitations on Waiver):
- Online: This Page (http://federalevidence.com/rules-of-evidence) provides the online version of the FRE 2010. To find a particular rule, (a) scroll down the page to find the rule, (b) use the drop-down box to select a particular rule, or (c) use the browser's "find" function (usually located by clicking on the upper left browser edit tab).
- PDF Format: Additionally, use the PDF version of the FRE 2010 by downloading and saving the PDF file on your computer, or printing a hardcopy for court or meetings. Depending on the speed of your Internet connections, the download may take up to a minute to complete. The PDF version is also also searchable using the Adobe Reader "Search" tool. The PDF version also has hyperlinks on the FRE Index Page, providing direct links to specific rules.
